These kinds of things make me wish people would more openly share what things should cost.
It is almost impossible to compare contracting jobs just because of the countless variations such as size, materials used, and actual design. $10,000 may be high or inexpensive.

It is much easier to compare restaurant prices or rides to and from the airport.
